The effect of alpha phase on the fatigue properties of Fe-29%Ni-17%Co low thermal expansion alloy was investigated. Two kinds of alloys (Base alloy and Alpha alloy) were prepared by controlling the minimal alloy composition. Microstructure observation, tensile, high-cycle fatigue, and low-cycle fatigue results were measured in this study. The Base alloy microstructure showed typical austenite γ phase. Alpha alloy represented the dispersed phase in the austenite γ matrix. As a result of tensile testing, Alpha alloy was found to have higher strengths (Y.S. & T.S.) and lower elongation compared to those of the Base alloy. High cycle fatigue results showed that Alpha alloy had a higher fatigue limit (360MPa) than that (330MPa) of the Base alloy. The Alpha alloy exhibited the superior high cycle fatigue property in all of the fatigue stress conditions. SEM fractography results showed that the alpha phase could act to effectively retard both fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation. In the case of low-cycle fatigue, the Base alloy had longer fatigue life in the high plastic strain amplitude region and the Alpha alloy showed better fatigue property only in the low plastic strain amplitude region. The fatigue deformation behavior of the Fe-29%Ni-17%Co alloy was also discussed as related with its microstructure.

본 연구에서는 국내에서 많이 사용되고 있는 매설가스배관인 X65를 선택하여 매설가스배관의 형태, 매설된 지반의 특성, 단일 및 복합입력지진파 그리고 매설깊이 등을 변수로 하여 시간이력 지진응답해석을 수행하였다. 해석적으로 예측된 변형률 및 상대변위는 국내도시가스 배관의 내진설계 세부기술기준에서 제시하고 있는 허용변형률 및 허용변위역량과 비교하였다. 비교해석결과, 배관의 변형률은 매설깊이와 지반조건에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 상대변위의 경우, 축 방향 상대변위는 매설깊이에 따른 영향을 받지 않는 반면에, 횡 방향 상대변위는 매설깊이와 지반조건에 영향을 받는 것을 알 수 있었다. 결론적으로 본 연구결과는 향후 매설가스배관의 지진건전도 평가에 좋은 자료를 제공할 것으로 사료된다.

To suggest the preliminary data for effective maintenance of bridge structures, the damage patterns of expressway bridges are quantitatively analyzed in the present study. Damages detected in concrete deck slab, girder(concrete/steel), abutment and pier are classified into damage patterns and details. From this study, the damage characteristics of expressway bridges are figured out, and most of damages are defect which is resulted from a shoddy and fault construction
